How bad did I do!! Shop van wrap design.

Nice, Biker.

Someone's been studying Danny's book............................. in my na-na-na-nah na na nah............ voice

 

[Biker Scout]

Nice, Biker.

Thanks. It was your mention of the KAWPOW that sparked the idea... "Oh yeah... I know exactly what to do now!"

I wasn't even going to reply to this thread if it weren't for your suggestion. I felt compelled to it! :Big Laugh

First thing I thought was "The Partridge Family"

I like the concept, but Biker Scouts looks cleaner...

The logo needs work... it's not attractive and does not convey
positive design skills.

Heroes is plural, Hero's is several sandwiches...

ooops, forgot...

"Hero's" is possessive, as in the the "hero's cape"

 

[FrankenSigns.biz]

The multiple sandwiches comment is facetious, but it should be "your sign shop super heroes".

 

[A2Z]

Still have a lot work to do, all of you have helped out a bunch. Does the super hero guy look funny with no face compared to the hot vector chick. Any help with placement of colors would help to. Guys I have no training what so ever in design beside what I can learn on the old interweb. I know I can get someone else to design it but I want the satisfaction of doing it all myself, besides the stock photos. Thanks for all your help!!!

 

[Biker Scout]

OK, here's a super wrapper's tip for ya... when designing the thing, be sure to design the mirror image side. I'm betting your logo will look weird on the right hand side. Like it's going down hill.

Here's something simpler... that still gives a POW!

Sorry, mine was done in only a few minutes... but you can play with the concept. I just kinda threw the logo on the door last minute. But what really needs to stand out is what you are offering. In your case, an impact image that's memorable. You can put a website or phone number on the back door, or under your logo, but that's about it.

Just use this one and get on with it!

Biker Scout's design is so much better to me.

Ask how much he would charge to design the whole thing and consider it money very well spent!

 

[artbot]

just make sure your van doesn't tell your market "Guys I have no training what so ever in design". the difference in a clean pro design that pops and a "fun" design/experiment can mean tens of thousands of dollars in orders per year. keep designing, keep submitting options. but don't let the van be your intermediate designer "portfolio". i believe the master designers on this board are being kind and generous with their softball critiques.

 

[A2Z]

Is it getting better or worse. Should scrape the whole idea and start over. I really want to do it myself. Can't learn letting someone else do it. It's just hard to nail down a good design for a sign shop. For me anyway with limited design skills. Thanks for the help.

Don't practice on your image. It is way too important and has too much potential to make you money or lose you money. Let a pro designer do your truck and image, make tons of cash, get tons of work. It takes time to get good at this stuff.

It's getting better but the colors really clash.
I'd change the green on the very bottom panel to a charcoal grey.
I'd make the blue panel be red, and lose the mint green behind the lady with the orange shirt. If you can, change her shirt to yellow and the background to orange.
Hate the font on the front panel and the copy needs to be tighter together.
I really hate the A2Z in your logo, too, because it looks stretched.
The idea is good, it just needs some tweaking.
Love....jill

We never use photos or bitmaps on truck wrap designs. Try doing one without it. If it doesnt work, it means the branding can't support it, in which case you need to solve that problem before making a potentially costly error.

 

[A2Z]

Thanks for all the help!! For all the time I spend on designing and scraping it, because this so important for my image. I will sub out the design for this and a new logo. About how much will this cost me (ballpark). Thanks

 

[jen.reelez]

Alright let me know how I am doing. This will be my first full wrap. The stock photos will be replaced with paid original's. Never planned on going with a super hero theme for business just how it worked out.

At times if you throw enough random stuff at a project and it sticks
people will think you are some kind of high fashion design genius.....
(or not)
